(54) INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR INSPECTING DISPLAY DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE FOR COMPENSATING FOR DEFECTIVE PIXEL AND DEFECTIVE PIXEL COMPENSATION METHOD


(57) An inspection system for inspecting a display device including pixels includes a camera for capturing the display device and providing a sensing image signal and an inspection device for receiving the sensing image signal and outputting a compensation signal for compensating for luminance of a defective pixel. The inspection device includes an image detector outputting a sensing input signal corresponding to the sensing image signal, a defect coordinate detector detecting the defective pixel based on the sensing input signal and outputting defect coordinates indicating a position of the defective pixel, an image analyzer analyzing consistency of the defect coordinates based on the sensing image signal and the sensing input signal and outputting final coordinates, and a defect compensation calculator outputting a compensation signal for adjusting luminance of compensation pixels adjacent to the defective pixel from among the pixels based on the final coordinates.
